Romantic Danube Viking River Cruise


Travel like you've never imagined as you join us on this relaxing and enjoyable river cruise down the Danube with Viking River Cruises -
October 7-20, 2014
During this journey, encounter the grand cities and quaint villages along the celebrated Danube River.  Begin in Budapest with a few days to explore on your own before beginning this once in a lifetime cruise.  Discover both sides of Hungary’s capital—traditional “Buda” and more cosmopolitan “Pest” - and from Fisherman’s Bastion, see how the river divides this fascinating city.  Experience Vienna’s imperial architecture and gracious culture, and tour riverside towns in Austria’s Wachau Valley.  And in Germany, explore a baroque cathedral and stroll cobbled streets lined with half-timbered houses.  Savor the tastes of authentic dishes, learn about local legends and understand why Strauss immortalized the “Blue Danube” in his famous melody.  At the conclusion of the cruise in Nuremburg, join us in Prague for a post-cruise tour in this enchanting city before our journey home!

Please call us for more information on this fabulous cruise tour!

G'Day Mates!

Back to the beautiful Gold Coast of Australia again and can't believe we've already been away from the cold weather of Canada for over a week!!   It was a treat to have a few days in Roratonga, Cook Islands .... it certainly eased the jetlag when we arrived here.   Now all getting settled into the rhythm of the coast and into our home for 7 weeks - Points North!
We're getting lots of tours set up so everyone can explore - our "Mystery tour" proved to be interesting as we drove thru the Northern part of New South Wales and South Queensland.   The ranges looked very green and certainly there was evidence of washouts after the big rains!   As always, a few unscheduled stops for some fresh fruit & veggies!  
And what a wonderful day we had for a cruise on the river; and a new experience dining on some of that famous seafood! Weather was perfect!
Had our first BBQ and we were all well fed on such a nice variety of goodies!!
Our next tour is the Emu Farm on Feb 12! Will check back soon!
